Reed Sheppard ended up having a decent fantasy season but the road was awfully bumpy along the way. Can he continue to improve or will Fred VanVleet get healthy and take those guard minutes? And what of the Spurs young core? Is Dylan Harper the next mega-leaper? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't get a single benefit.

Jamal Murray was the best 3rd round pick in fantasy, but the rest of the Nuggets not named Jokic stunk! The Jazz put up monster fantasy lines any time they played, but next season's starting five figures to look pretty different. Will any be draft day values? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now.

The 6th round had a handful of injured guys that stunk all year, some underperforming guards, and, luckily, OG Anunoby. What did we learn from this clunker of a 12-pack.

The preseason 5th round had some gems hiding within a sea of risk and boredom. Don't draft injured players here. Don't draft tanking players here. Take the guys that you can rely on.

Let's slow it down, now. Grab your partner and pull them in tight, and let's spend some extra time rolling through some of the more polarizing names that got drafted in the 3rd and 4th rounds, typically, and whether we faded or backed the right horses.

At last! Dan finally cracks open his preseason buckets and breaks down the first 30 names. Did we hit? Did we miss?

The Minnesota Timberwolves ended up with a near half-dozen players with solid fantasy value, but injuries to Anthony Edwards and, now, Donte DiVincenzo create some uncertainty on how to handle this club next year. Meanwhile, the Thunder have about 50 players with fringe value. Let's take a look at two more teams from the Northwest Division. The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't...

With two more game sevens coming up today, we thought it'd be fun to chat about the NBA again!

The Phoenix Suns had players out seemingly all year, creating weird opportunities for value, but also the entire team never quite hit their offensive stride. Meanwhile, the Blazers had, perhaps, TOO many players, and not enough of them hitting shots. But lucky for us, our main target in this mix, Donovan Clingan, was great all year.

I have a secret. You don't need a perfect draft to win your league. In fact, all you really need to do is NOT blow an early pick and you'll be fine.

I could not be more annoyed with myself. I took an injured player in the 3rd. I took an injured player in the 4th. I somehow managed to win a small amount of money, but I very much did not deserve it. I went against everything I hold sacred, and now you get to hear me rant about it.

The 4th round may have been our favorite zone for upside plays! Kawhi, Butler, Reaves, and more were all in this same range. Plus, safe calls like Desmond Bane if you had risk early.

The 3rd round spanned names as score-heavy as Jaylen Brown all the way to blocks stars like Chet Holmgren or JJJ (pre shutdown). Who hit? Who missed? And did we get our preferred names right?

Was Kawhi Leonard the most impactful pick in fantasy basketball, posting early 1st-round numbers out of his late 4th round slot? Did the Lakers big three actually end up working for all of them? Who can we trust if the teams keep their cores the same? Are the Clippers a constant risk of trading everyone? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't get a single benefit.
